The Albemarle, originally constructed in 1901, is one of Dupont Circle’s historic Beaux Arts style buildings. The building is listed in the National Registrar of Historic Places as a contributing property to the Striver’s Section Historic District, an area of the city that historically housed prominent African Americans. Past residents of the Striver’s Section included Frederick Douglass and Langston Hughes. Today, the building is located at the crossroads of Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan and U Street, allowing residents to easily access the sights and sounds of all three neighborhoods. The 7 story Albemarle is now home to 54 residential units that can be noted for hardwood floors and fireplaces.
